For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Darya Kraynaya Honors Thesis December 22, 2006 Burundian Refugees and Perpetuation of Instability in the Great Lakes Region For over a decade Burundi has faced internal conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutu. The Republic of Burundi received its independence on July 1, 1962 and three years later, the Prime Minister was assassinated. The assassination of Pierre Ngendandumwe, the Hutu Prime Minister, led to an outbreak of a chain of revolts by the Hutu. The conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi in Burundi became more serious after the tragic events of Rwanda in 1994. (Situation Report: Burundi) The future of Burundi depends on the progress of possible reconciliation between the warring Hutu and Tutsi and of course the outlawed militant groups. The progress of reconciliation is essential because, although a ceasefire agreement was reached in May 2005, between the extremist Hutu group, Palipehutu-FNL ("FNL”) and the government of Burundi, the fighting still continues.

Assassinat Du Premier Ministre Du Burundi, Pierre Ngendandumwe Cinquante Ans Après Par Perpétue Nshimirimana, Le 15 Janvier 2015
Assassinat du Premier ministre du Burundi, Pierre Ngendandumwe Cinquante ans après Par Perpétue Nshimirimana, le 15 janvier 2015 Contribution à la Commission Vérité-Réconciliation et au Mécanisme de Justice Transitionnelle L’année 2015 est une année particulière dans l’Histoire du Burundi. Elle marque, en effet, le cinquantième anniversaire du déclenchement des premiers assassinats en masse des citoyens et des intellectuels burundais ayant en commun le fait d’appartenir à l’ethnie Hutu. Cet anniversaire invite tous les Barundi épris de justice et de paix à marquer un temps d’arrêt pour une pensée envers toutes les victimes innocentes du pays. Aujourd’hui, le public attend, précisément, de la part des dirigeants du Burundi officiel, de vrais gestes symboliques et concrets dans le but d’honorer leur mémoire et de lutter contre l’oubli suivi d’une impunité invraisemblable. L’année 2015 donne l’occasion, aussi, de se souvenir en particulier de ces illustres disparus, les vrais Bâtisseurs du Burundi moderne. Il faut les mettre en lumière pour assurer la pérennité de leurs idées et de leurs projets. Au moment où le pays se dote, enfin, des membres constitutifs de la Commission Vérité et Réconciliation (C.V.R.)1, le Burundi doit regarder en face son passé et délivrer l’entière vérité à sa population en souffrance depuis si longtemps. De nombreuses familles sont dans l’attente d’explications sur l’étendue du mal répandu en toute conscience et avec détermination. Le temps de la réhabilitation des personnes injustement accusées puis assassinées dans la foulée, au cours de l’année 1965, est arrivé.
